Acquiring a wrath core enables War to increase wrath meter. Similarly to the Life Stones above, each Wrath Core has been broken into four pieces and you will find these strewn across the world map. Collecting four Wrath Shards will create a Wrath Core, which will increase the amount of wrath War can accumulate by a single bar. There are three complete wrath cores to be found, along with 20 Wrath Shards . Collecting all of these will net War the maximum number of wrath bars - 10.

Here are the locations of each of the Wrath Cores/Shards :
